"These MC505s are getting old! With their age a lot of the original Roland displays are losing lines, missing digits and being overall in a state of sadness. This one on the other hand is feeling better than ever! It's got a new a display and its gotten a general service from our in house technicians. It's working great and looking better!"
"The results of my first couple of weeks with the Teenage Engineering OP-1. It’s a complete 360 from the sequencer heavy workflow of the Elektron boxes. Spiced things up with some FX from the Roland P6 and Source Audio Collider
I remember the first time I saw one of these 10 years ago, I thought it looked like some sort of retro futuristic magic device. I didn’t know anything about synths, but I wanted one so bad. But the price! As I continued to learn more about the synthesizers, the price barrier grew. This thing started to seem like a complete rip off.
Now, thanks to an unexpected trade offer, the Teenage Engineering OP-1 is finally in my possession. My thoughts: worth the wait… and the price"

Rest in Peace Ozzy
One of my favorite tracks.
Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne from the album Blizzard of Ozz (1980)
Featured the Moog Minimoog, the Logan String Melody II and the Roland VP-330
This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."
This Patch named "SM Lush Analog Keys" will be included in Explorations Volume 2, this one really shows how rich and full the OB-X8 can sound. Sometimes Less is more, and this patch keeps things simple but just lovely and not achievable on every synth with such depth. This is exactly why I love this synth so much!"
"NINA's multi track sequencer firmware 2.1 is out now, NINA is no longer just a synthesizer — Unlock a standalone groovebox for beatmakers, producers, performers and sound designers. A groovebox for dynamic and expressive performance anywhere - studio or stage. Great for generating quick new ideas or work some amazing complexity into your music. This is all powered by NINA's raw analog oscillators, ladder filter and wavetable oscillator. Not forgetting the revolutionary motorized knobs that snap to life for hands-on, tactile interactive control, now you can feel your sound. Whether you’re crafting beats or complex melodic patterns, this next-gen groovebox workflow unlocks a completely new way to create.
All sounds and patterns in this video were created solely using NINA.

"A piece for Lottie Canto electric kalimba and @SequentialLLC Prophet-10—minimal ambient built from simple harmony and kalimba melody.
The electric kalimba (Lottie Canto’s Colour Palette) runs its onboard delay, with additional reverb from @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MK II. I toggle Micro Loop and use the CLOCK control to pitch-shift along the way.
The Prophet-10 uses a slow-attack, slow-release pad patch. Its output goes through @strymon blueSky for reverb."
